Okay, GrayFury, this is for you but it is a work in progress... I'm still working on recovering myself but this has helped me out tons. Although I admit I havnt gotten through all the steps

1) Admit that you are powerless over Firefly and the control it has over you.

2) Come to believe that a power greater than you could restore you to sanity (good luck there, I skipped this step)

3) Make a decision to turn your will and your life over to the whims of the 'verse and all that is shiny in it.

4) Make a list of those you neglected while under Firefly's intoxicating spell and vow to live vicariously thru them as they see the series for the first time.

5) Find a fellow Firefly addict with whom you can confide in durring moments of weakness, especially when you have run out of names from step #4.

6) Attempt to make connections with the Mob that can hold certain key members of Fox for ransom until FireFly is picked back up.

7) Grant yourslef a weekly allowence to purchase Serenity DVD's and then randomly place them on stranger's doorsteps in hopes of spreading the infection.

Well, that's all I got so far. Anyone else got any ideas? I'm still working on my list of names from step #4. I think if we all pull together we could make this a full 12 step process to aid us until someone is sucessfull with step #6, hehe.

Hey! You're back! And there's your front too!

So, it's really an eleven step program? Still, it's a good idea!

Hi, my name's Chris, and I'm a Fireflyaholic.
I come here to these meetings to see what I won't let myself become.
Weak-willed and impotent.
Y'all have made fighting Firefly addiction a religion. You worship on the altar of self-pity.
I made a decision to take control of my life.
Thank you.
As you were.

11 step program? It can be as many steps as nessecary, just thought it might be funny to see what kind of creative/ funny things people can come up with to do while we all hold our collective breaths waiting to see if our dreams are answered. Although, I must admit I was worried for a second that someone might take the whole mob thing seriously (hehe).

I have to admit that I was Kylen's #4 and #5 above. He let me borrow the show and watched it with me as I saw it for the first time...and sadly after seeing the last disc (/cry) we now sit and talk about it.

I got one for you Kylen:

Go to Veloxi's Myspace.com site and listen to his theme music over...and over...and over...

Veloxi, I hope you don't mind I post your page here, because as you know...I LOVE IT!!!

My name is Ertia and I'm a Fireflyaddict.

I understand that the important thing about overcoming addiction is to understand that there is a Higher Power that can help you overcome.

My Higher Power is a Firefly Class Transport Ship.

I vow to take things one job at a time, for so long as the compression coil holds out.

I've had my DVDs away for the past THREE WEEKS now, and I am ruttin' frustrated. Have been substituting them with the podcasts, and the boards. Also have viewed the movie TWO TIMES since Thanksgiving, at the low budget cinema. Also am reading Finding Serenity. Am doing OKAY, but you all know....

I fell off the wagon.

Tried to satisfy my Firefly addiction with the BattleStar Glacatica mini series. Only made it thru the first hour before I had to pop a Firefly DVD in.

Yup, eleven steps if you skip the finding a greater power step as you post suggests you did, you're not alone. I found this program to be quite helpful, I also skipped step number two.

Oh boy, thanks!

Hi, my name is Barb, and I have a problem.
I am about to take my addiction to a whole new city. I have removed all the clothing from my suitcase in order to fill it with presents of Firefly DVDs and my laptop, so I can keep coming to meetings with the fierce and passionate.

I couldn't possibly tell you about the Alliance trying to steal my thoughts, cause then you'd know and they'd come after you too.

Oh, Damn! Sorry.
